Nicole Arcobaleni

About Nicole

I am a NY/NJ based registered dietitian and have been working in the field of nutrition for six years. I have worked in the hospital, a mental health program, and most recently in primary care helping adults, teens and children with a number of nutrition related clinical conditions. I am passionate about using food to transform and take control of your health, and debunking diet culture myths to simplify healthy eating, making it easier and more accessible to implement even in the most chaotic of lifestyles! While I have expansive experience with a variety of clinical conditions, I am especially apt at blood sugar management, PCOS/hormonal health, and weight management (gain, loss, GLP-1, pre/post bariatric surgery). I truly believe with the right guidance and support, anyone can make impactful healthy changes and maintain them for a lifetime and am excited to help make that happen for you!

Approach to care

I would describe my approach as flexible, realistic, and judgement free. I understand each person has unique circumstances, preferences, and valid barriers to meeting their health goals, and therefore each person requires an individualized solution that needs constant tweaks and changes. I know that health and weight loss are not exclusively linked, and that every body, regardless of size, can be healthy. I pride myself on making people feel truly heard and understood, as food is very personal. What I love most about being a dietitian is each circumstance is a puzzle! I will always work to come up with new and creative solutions for you, and as long as you remain committed to making a change, I will remain committed to finding new and inventive ways to help. I will provide you with evidence based, realistic recommendations, and empower you to make the choice that is best, as you know your body best!

Your first session with Nicole

In our first session, we will spend a good amount of time getting to know you; your needs, motivations, challenges, and goals. I will ask questions about your current and past diet and lifestyle, your medical history and nutrition related conditions that run in your family, and how you see yourself succeeding in reaching your goals. I will listen carefully and empathetically and together we will come up with a plan that best suits your individual needs. Finally, we will collaboratively come up with short and long term goals to get you started on your journey of healing through food!

Hobbies

I love to be active! I am a (slow-ish) long distance runner, training for one half marathon each year, and in my off seasons I love to get as strong as possible- my favorite lift is the deadlift! Other hobbies of mine include dancing, roller skating, and taking long walks with my one year old black lab! I love to eat and can often be found experimenting with a new recipe I found online, or out at a restaurant exploring a new culture through food. I am mostly a homebody and love to curl up on the couch and watch terrible reality TV or play video games with my partner.
